    LED light not enough? Brown Algae

    So I'm wondering if my Marineland Double Bright LED 24" is just not enough for a 20g long aquarium. I've got brown algae all over my plants and wood and can't seem to figure out why. I leave the light on about 8 hours a day and feed my fish once a day. I do 40-50% water change same day/time...

    Fix for broken filter intake?

    I have a Aqeon Quietflow 50 and it has the intake thing that goes into the tank that sucks up the water and the end piece that you can adjust and remove I snapped in half by accident. I cut some filter foam to fit between the 2 pieces to hold them together, but I'm not sure if it's slowing down...

    Yoyo loach fin nipping solution?

    Time for a filter change?

    Whenever I do a water change (50% every sunday) I turn off the filter and heater and clean them. I swish the filter media around in the tank water, clean the algae and other debris off the inside of the filter, and clean the pipe that sucks the water into the filter. Now, everytime I do this and...

    Brown algae balls on driftwood only.

    Over the last few weeks balls of furry looking brown algae have been growing on my driftwood, and only my driftwood. No signs of this anywhere else in my tank, not on the glass, rocks, plants, or anything other than the wood. I have live plants and my light is on for around 10 hours a day, the...

    Dead Bolivian ram, water parameters normal?

    Woke up today and went to feed my fish and found my Bolivian ram at the bottom of the tank dead. The only noticeable issue on him was that the base of his fins were all red, maybe that's what happens when they die but I never noticed it before. All my other fish are perfect, my water parameters...

    Second light?

    I currently have a Marineland Double Bright LED for my 20 gallon long and I was thinking of getting another and just have them side by side. Currently I have a glass top which has a black piece that connects the 2 glass panels which blocks some of the light and the blue LED completely. I also...

Also I was curious about something else too, my tank is a 20g long tank, with 40 lbs. of eco complete 2 pieces of driftwood, and a...

    I've never had a cichlid before so I don't know what is normal but I bought a Bolivian ram today and just put him in my tank about 30 mins ago and so far he swam to the bottom and is sitting on my eco complete waving his fins and breathing heavily. Not sure if this is his way of adjusting to my...
